No smoking inside bars and restaurants in Spain from today - but are the Spanish people going to observe the new, more stringent law? I am in the UK for the New Year but have always had my doubts as to whether smoke-hardened Spaniards will abide by the legislation. You know, a couple of free drinks for the local police to turn a blind eye - nudge nudge, wink wink.
Finding a non-smoking bar near where I live in Guardamar has always been difficult, partly because British bar owners feared they would lose more customers than they would gain. So it’s been ‘se permite fumar’ virtually everywhere until now, much to the despair of sanctimonious old ex-smokers like this Grumpy Old Gran. I’m not one to keep quiet about it, either. Lots of thoughts and comments on my website - plus a few laughs! 💋
